[01] Cyprus Chief negotiator - EU Summit
by Maria Koniotou Gothenburg, Jun 15 (CNA) - Head of Cyprus negotiating
team for accession to the European Union George Vassiliou has expressed
optimism that EU member-states will reaffirm during the EU Summit beginning
here today that the enlargement process is proceeding as it has been
planned.
Vassiliou, who as leader of Cyprus' liberal United Democrats party attended
here yesterday a meeting of European Liberal Parties, told CNA it was of
paramount importance to have the EU Summit reaffirm that the enlargement
process would continue smoothly.

[02] Cyprus question - UN peace process
by Maria Myles Nicosia, Jun 15 (CNA) -- The UN has to walk a tightrope if
it wants to see the stalled peace talks in Cyprus resume and has to see its
way through a diplomatic minefield to find such means that would persuade
the Turkish Cypriot leader to return to the negotiating table without
alienating the Greek Cypriot side, western diplomats believe.
With a proposed draft on a overall framework solution under its arm, worked
out with primarily the active help of Britain and the US but also other
contributors, the UN seems to have little choice but to insist on a
resumption of the process without preconditions but its Special Adviser on
Cyprus Alvaro de Soto is not planning a visit to Cyprus at this stage.
